Why Bother?

a poem about effort

Why bother getting up, just to fall again?
I’ll stand up one more time, just to kiss the ground again
It’s obvious to me that I need a new melody
A new beat, a new guide
A new song, a new stride

Why bother jumping, just to be pulled down again?
I’ll jump up one more time and surrender to gravity
It’s obvious to me that I need a new script
A new plot, a new guide
A new scene, a new stride
